    Emergency Podcast: Is The Slate EV Truck's $24,950 Price Real? Is It Good?

    17/06/2026 | 23 mins.
    As gearheads, I think we all appreciate the concept of looking under the hood. One of our readers does, too, except he likes looking under the hood of websites. Websites for, say, small EV pickup trucks that everyone desperately wants to know the price of . Yes, I’m talking about Slate, and yes, if you look under the hood of the company’s website, it appears that the price of the entry-level truck has been leaked.
    I’m not entirely sure if “leaked” is the right word here; it’s in the source code to the web page on Slate Auto’s site titled How To Preorder, and the pricing information in the source code was spotted by a pleasingly nosy Autopian named Dave.
    Is this real? is it a good price? David Tracy and Jason Torchinsky talk about it.

    Drive Modes On Cars Are Stupid, At Least Most Of The Time

    05/06/2026 | 25 mins.
    It’s time for another episode of Carbage Time, where we here at The Autopian argue about our dumb takes. Because, like all humans, we have opinions about things, specifically car things, and we’re deluded enough to think that, bafflingly, you need to hear about these opinions! So if you’re pining to hear us opining, boy are you in luck. Last week, in our very first episode of the series, David and Matt discussed the largely disastrous Ferrari Luce. This time Matt and I are going to talk about something far more accessible than some poorly-designed and overpriced battery-powered Ferrari: drive modes.
    Yes, drive modes. My suspicion is that it took you a moment to remember just what the hell those things were, because while it’s fairly likely your car has them – if you have a relatively modern car, made in, say, the last decade and a half or so, at least – I also suspect you probably haven’t used them in a while.

    The Ferrari Luce Didn’t Stand a CHANCE!

    27/05/2026 | 30 mins.
    Welcome back to The Autopian Podcast, now the Autopian "Carbage Time Podcast," where we get to discuss our most radioactive takes, and who better to start than our own Matt Hardigree, an eternal spring of bad opinions. Can he convince David Tracy that the Ferrari Luce wasn't sort of doomed from the beginning?
